Elton John Adds More Dates to Sprawling Final Tour

Elton John has announced shows in Long Island, Newark, Brooklyn and Boston, among other cities, as his three-year-long farewell tour continues to grow. The first 60 dates immediately sold out.

John will also now be visiting Rosemont, Ill., and doing a second show in Sunrise, Fla., along with previously announced additional concerts in Minneapolis; Raleigh, N.C.; Columbia, S.C.; Jacksonville, Fla.; and Los Angeles. A complete list of dates, cities and venues is below. Tickets for the latest shows go on sale beginning Feb. 16 at 10AM local time; pre-sales begin on Thursday. They can be purchased, along with VIP packages, at EltonJohn.com.

Initially set to include more than 300 shows across five continents through 2021, the Farewell Yellow Brick Road Tour was already forecast to bring in more than $400 million by Forbes magazine. John earned $60 million in 2017.

If these dates push past half-a-billion in revenue, John would end up with one the 10 highest-grossing tours of all time, Forbes noted. The first- and second-place earners remain U2's 360 Tour ($736 million) and the Rolling Stones' Bigger Bang Tour ($558 million). As for ongoing shows, Guns N' Roses' Not in This Lifetime concerts have grossed $475 million so far.

The Farewell Yellow Brick Road Tour was announced during a multi-media presentation held Jan. 24 in New York and simulcast in London and Los Angeles. John confirmed his retirement from touring, saying he wanted to spent more time with his family.
